[32] "Venerable sir, possessing how many qualities should a bhikkhu be agreed upon for settlement by committee (ubbāhikā)?"
"Possessing ten qualities, Upāli, a bhikkhu should be agreed upon for settlement by committee. Which ten? Here, Upāli, a bhikkhu is virtuous; he dwells restrained by the restraint of the Pātimokkha, accomplished in conduct and resort, seeing danger in the slightest faults; having undertaken the training rules, he trains in them. He is learned, a retainer of what he has heard, an accumulator of learning: those teachings that are good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, which with their meaning and phrasing proclaim the holy life that is entirely complete and pure — such teachings he has learned much of, retained, recited verbally, examined with the mind, and well penetrated by view. Both Pātimokkhas have been well transmitted to him in detail, well analyzed, well mastered, well determined by rule and by detail. He is established in the Discipline (Vinaya), immovable. He is capable of convincing both parties to a dispute, of getting them to consider, of getting them to examine, and of inspiring their confidence. He is skilled in the arising and settling of disciplinary issues (adhikaraṇa): he knows a disciplinary issue, he knows the origin of a disciplinary issue, he knows the cessation of a disciplinary issue, he knows the way of practice leading to the cessation of a disciplinary issue. Possessing these ten qualities, Upāli, a bhikkhu should be agreed upon for settlement by committee."
